OMG! I had a similar experience at Abuja airport. Forgot my carry on at the terminal because I thought the orderly dispatched to pick me up from the airport had it.
With alarm, I soon realized my situation but I'm now at my hotel. My laptop for a presentation tomorrow, valuables etc, etc were in it and it's 9pm. OMG! How could this happen?

Long story, short. There was a line that stretched for a mile at gas stations. So the orderly couldn't get back to the hotel to get me to the airport.

Much later in the night, we arrived at the airport... and to my disbelief, my travel case was sitting by the screening gate being looked over by a transportation safety officer. I was in shock but elated. I was thanking my stars. There was no way in the world, would this have happened I thought. But there it was. I was filled with relief and joy. So to show my thankfulness, I produced and offered the TSA officer $20 for his dedication to duty.

And here it comes! He turned it down. What! He said he was doing his job. I was speechless and flustered. I didn't know how to thank him. So, here again. I say thank you. I do not remember your name at the moment but may good karma follow you...always
